Barcode of Life Data Systems: BOLDS main resource (81) DwCA

from http://www.boldsystems.org/. The Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD), is a web platform that provides an integrated environment for the assembly and use of DNA barcode data. It delivers an online database for collection and management of specimen, distributional, and molecular data as well as analytical tools to support their validation. Over the past few years, BOLD has grown to become a powerful online workbench and the central informatics hub of the DNA barcoding community. BOLD is freely available to any researcher with interests in DNA Barcoding. By providing specialized services, it aids in the publication of records that meet the standards needed to gain BARCODE designation in the global sequence databases. Because of its web-based delivery and flexible data security model, it is also well positioned to support projects that involve broad research alliances.数据来源于http://www.boldsystems.org/。生命条形码数据系统（Barcode of Life Data Systems，以下简称BOLD）是一个网页平台，为DNA条形码（DNA Barcoding）数据的组装与使用提供集成化研究环境。该系统搭建在线数据库，用于标本、分布及分子数据的收集与管理，并配套分析工具以支持数据验证。在过去数年间，BOLD已发展成为功能强大的在线研究工作台，同时也是DNA条形码研究社区的核心信息学枢纽。BOLD对所有关注DNA条形码研究的科研人员免费开放。通过提供专业化服务，BOLD可助力科研人员发表符合全球序列数据库BARCODE标识标准的记录。依托其基于网页的部署模式与灵活的数据安全模型，BOLD也能够出色地支持涉及广泛研究联盟的各类项目。
